As I sit here, after cramping all morning, munching on some BBQ potato chips, a splurge, and thinking about folding laundry, finishing dishes, and taking a nap, I am more ready to start encouraging this baby to go ahead and come on.

I know she won't actually come if she's not ready and I have no intention of forcing her to give up her cozy home. But maybe just a few messages and signals to let her know any time would be fine (I'm 39w4d, so def not encouraging things to start too early).

So I will finish my snack, deal with dishes, put some Clary Sage EO in my diffuser, and bounce/circle on my yoga ball while I fold laundry/watch a movie, and then possibly pull out my breast pump and try a little nipple stimulation until my 19 month old wakes up from his nap, if he stays out that long. Good luck to all you mamas birthing soon!
